The regulars were training on the mountain today. I was in the car with Ryuzaki-sensei and her granddaughter. We were going to the mountain by car while the regulars were going to jog to the top of the mountain where the training site was located. I remembered last year. The regulars wouldn't talk for a while. I felt bad for them.

{I hope Tezuka and the others are ok.} I helped unload the equipments from the car. I was putting a light box down until I heard a voice. "I have been waiting for you, Ryuzaki-sensei," I heard. I put the box down and turned to the building. A man was on the stairs. "We will be in your care again this year, Morioka," Ryuzaki-sensei said.

I bowed toward the Morioka. He took care of us last year. "Who are the girls with you?" he asked. "My granddaughter," she said. Sakuno introduced herself. "Heh, unlike Sensei, she's a cute one," he said. I saw Ryuzaki-sensei make a scary face. "What did you say?!" Ryuzaki-sensei asked. "Ummm...nothing," he said nervously and laughed.

He turned to me. "And the other girl?" he asked. "Thats the manager of the tennis team Asada-chan," Ryuzaki-sensei said. I turned to him. "Hello my name is Asada Miyu. Nice to meet you," I said and bowed. He bowed back. "She is cute too," he said. I could see the jealous look on Ryuzaki-sensei's face.

I was walking around until I saw them running towards me. Most of them had stopped and fall to the ground tired. "You all made it," I said with a smile. They were worn out except a few. "It's another tie," Inui said. I turned to Inui. "What do you mean another tie?" I asked. I turned to Tezuka. He shook his head slightly. "Um...never mind, I don't want to know," I said. I saw Ryuzaki-sensei approach us. "You're finally here. Good work, everyone," she said. They were to start practice right away.

I walked with Tezuka and the group until there was trouble being created with a group of tennis players. Unfortunately, we had to use the a different court that was a bit far from the main area. Morioka told us that the A court would be open in the afternoon. "Understood. Let's move it, everyone," Tezuka said. We walked to the D court. It looked run down. I felt that the ground was off balanced. I was right. Inui let a ball down and the ball started to roll on its own. They would be having a match. Whoever got two points in a row won. Nobody was allowed to use the water tap and their water bottle during the practice.

"People who want water should run down the mountain to the stream and come back," Inui said. "Where is the stream?!" everyone said even me. The loser would have to drink Inui's juice, Marvelous Surprise Inui Juice Excellent. He brought an actual tank. Kawamura and Echizen were first up. They both lost. Kawamura tripped and fell on the net and got tangled with Echizen. They had to drink the juice. Eventually, everyone lost but, Tezuka. Inui said that they would do nine more sets before lunch. "I think the juice would be their lunch," I said.

We walked back to the main area. Morioka was trying to help us to use the A court from a group of players from earlier, but they wouldn't listen. Tezuka walked next to Echizen. "We would like to borrow your university students for a while," he said. Echizen would have the first match. He made a new move. Soon, every regular beat each university player.

The coach of the university players stepped up. The coach was a former pro. Tezuka walked in front of them. He said that he would play. I tried to not worry too much. Tezuka was able to return the serve and the ball went through the fence. Eventually, the coach lost his match.

I could see that they were stronger than a pro.
